SkyBound vs Sportspower / Bounce Pro
Sportspower and Bounce Pro are the trampolines you see stacked in Walmart's seasonal aisle — two closely related budget brands with some of the lowest full-size prices in the US market. SkyBound sells online at prices that start not far above them. Whether the step up is worth it depends on what you are jumping on and for how long.
The Sportspower / Bounce Pro range centers on the Steelflex Pro line, full-size rounds commonly priced between $150 and $260. The published warranty is stronger than the price suggests: 7 years on the frame and 3 years on the mat, with 1 year on nets, pads, and other parts. Single-jumper limits are the constraint — 220 lb across the Steelflex line, and 100 lb on the My First Trampoline kids' models.
SkyBound started in 2009 as a replacement-parts supplier before launching its own trampolines, and its range runs from budget coil rounds through rectangles to a springless line using bungee cords and fiberglass rods. Frame coverage is 5 years on nearly every line, and mainstream rounds rate 330 lb per jumper.
Below we compare the two on weight limits, warranty terms, the springless question, and where you actually buy each brand.

Key differences to think about
- Jumper weight limits: SkyBound's mainstream 330 lb rating gives real headroom over the 220 lb limit that applies across the Steelflex Pro line, which matters once teenagers or adults start jumping.
- Frame warranty: Sportspower / Bounce Pro publishes a 7-year frame warranty that outlasts SkyBound's 5 years, an unusual result for a budget big-box brand, with mat coverage also favoring Bounce Pro at 3 years vs 2–3 depending on SkyBound line.
- Springless option: SkyBound offers a springless line using bungee cords and fiberglass rods, while the entire Sportspower / Bounce Pro range uses coil springs.
- Where you buy: Sportspower / Bounce Pro sells through Walmart and other big-box retailers with in-store returns, while SkyBound sells mainly through its own site and Amazon.
- Range depth: SkyBound offers more sizes, shapes, and build tiers to step up through, while Sportspower / Bounce Pro concentrates on value-priced rounds and kids' models.
